the board approved the actions taken in closed session and the minutes of the prior board meeting. As a result, meeting minutes
are typically found in the following meeting's file. The board also discussed regulations, election of officers, disciplinary
guidelines, and education requirements. Meeting files contain notes, agendas, minutes, memoranda, correspondence, meeting
handouts, and executive director's reports.

The records of the closed sessions are restricted due to their investigatory and disciplinary nature. During the closed sessions
the board would review disciplinary cases brought against licensed chiropractors and decide their penalty. Also during closed

of examination commissioners. The closed session files are stamped "restricted".
